Subject: Re: Tomcat 6.0.18 access files case-insensitive
Now if the attribute is false, does that mean that Tomcat will try all
possible case variations between "abc.html" and "ABC.HTML" before it
gives up ?
I just looked at the code in FileDirContext.java (and related classes), and it
does not seem to. It wouldn't have to try all variations; it could simply use
the String.equalsIgnoreCase() method on each entry in the directory of
interest, or force everything to one case or another when it builds its
internal lookup table - but I couldn't find anything like that going on.
Even that wouldn't work.
Since the filesystem is case-sensitive, it may well have both "abc.html"
and "ABC.HTML" in the same directory. So which one would it pick to keep ?
So, back to the Tomcat developers. What /is/ the point of the
caseSensitive attribute in the <Context> element ?
